Under the Hood

Under the Hood

Stability.
Of course work under the hood continues for KDE 3.1 as well. On
the performance front it provides a number of welcome improvements,
such as on-demand icon loading for reduced application startu-up
times, reduced Konqueror start-up delays, and smarter thumbnail
generation. On the stability and consistencey front, the
development teams have squashed over 1,000 critters since the
much-heralded KDE 3.0 release.

Security.
The KDE Project's dedication to providing the latest technologies
does not play second fiddle to its dedication to a secure desktop
framework. KDE 3.1 fixes all known security problems, having undergone
a thorough security review prior to release. The KDE project encourages
anyone who discovers security vulnerabilities to
report them promptly to the diligent
and responsive KDE security team.
